I forgot to post this the day I read it; I was AFK for a time there... David Bowie’s estate sells his ‘entire’ songwriting catalogue to Warner Music

Stupid 'estate'.

There will be loads of Bowie songs abused in all sorts of shitty ads from now on. More than there already are...

Several other artists have sold the rights to parts or all of their catalogues in recent years, including Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, the last of whom might have set a record with an estimated $550 million deal late last year. Variety reported that Bowie’s estate sold his catalogue for “a price upwards of $250 million.”

They undersold it by $400 million. Some greedy turds inherited his wealth and belongings.
